I'm not quite ready to buy the idea that fabric kills germs and bacteria that can live on doorknobs and telephones.

For me, I sneeze/cough into my elbow because it's less embarassing than sneezing into my hands and having to wipe them on my pants.

Not Much Fun Anymore

Usually when I feel a sneeze coming on, and I'm in public I look for the oldest nearby person and use them as a cleanex. If you're going to sneeze, atleast have fun with it.

Fabric doesn't kill germs. Air exposure kills germs. The fabric just acts as a collector, because people (theoretically) don't touch anything else with their sleeves, giving germs time to die.

It's mainly so you're not spreading so much of it onto other people.

I'm disgusting, I just turn in a direction where no one is standing and let it go.

Or sneeze in my hands then wipe em on my pants.

I sneeze into my hands, then go wash my hands as soon as I can. Because I'm not a filthy savage.

I sneeze into my arm, and sometimes my hands.. usually which ever reaction comes in time... I carry hand sanitizer with me at all times since I contracted salmonella.

I do that. It's effective, except for those times when someone unexpectantly walks into the firing arc.

I sneeze into my clothing, unless I have a huge amount of mucus in my nose, in which case I pitch my head 45 degrees upward

I almost always hold in my sneezes. One of these days I'm gonna rupture something.

I guess I'm weird, because I think sneezing into your hands is absolutely disgusting, whether you're within quick range of a bathroom to go wash them or not. I just pick a direction with no one standing in the way and usually aim directly at the floor to avoid others as much as possible.

while the site might be fake, there are posters all over the TTC in Toronto about it, so i don't think so.

I used to sneeze into my hands until I started working in food service. I watched a manager sneeze into her sleeve/elbow and I realized she wouldn't need to wash her hands and had also turned away from the food she'd been working on. I still sneeze into my sleeve today because having greasy hands from working on cars means one hell of a mess to clean up on my face.
